What does AZT stand for?

0% for those who had received zidovudine monotherapy and had a planned cesarean delivery.

Another study found a great reduction in the risk of HIV infection in breastfeeding infants who were treated with an extended anti-HIV regimen with the drug nevirapine alone or in combination with zidovudine during the first 14 weeks of life.

At birth, the infants were randomly assigned to one of three regimens: single-dose nevirapine plus 1 week of zidovudine (control regimen) or the control regimen plus daily extended prophylaxis either with nevirapine (extended nevirapine) or with nevirapine plus zidovudine (extended dual prophylaxis) until the age of 14 weeks.

Combivir, made by Britain's GlaxoSmithKline PLC, contains lamivudine and zidovudine.

Under the agreement, Thembalami -- which is a joint venture between Adcock Ingram and India's Ranbaxy Laboratories -- will be allowed to produce generic versions of lamivudine and zidovudine, as well as a pill that combines the two drugs, South Africa's Business Day reports.

Scientists randomly assigned babies of HIV-positive women to get nevirapine or nevirapine plus zidovudine (AZT).

As trial coordinator, FHI collaborated with Makerere University in Kampala, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, USA, the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, USA, and several other partners to test the safety and efficacy of the antiretroviral nevirapine versus a specific regimen of the antiretroviral zidovudine (AZT) for preventing transmission from more than 600 pregnant, HIV-infected women to their infants.

Concurrent Stavudine And Zidovudine Zidovudine (Retrovir) and stavudine (Zerit) both require intracellular phosphorylation by the cellular enzyme thymidine kinase.
